Meet Shelby, the trendy snail with a heart as vast as her shell, and the newest hero at Rainbows and Smiles. Shelby, although unhurried, is swift in spreading kindness and joy. Embellished with tattoos, our resilient snail is a symbol of patience, persistence, and compassion. Shelby's wide-eyed enthusiasm and the floral-adorned shell she carries, embody love and support, inspiring us all to make a difference, one small step at a time.

This year, as we prepare for the challenging marathon month of Jan-u-Worry, we're inviting you to join a cause that extends beyond festive lights and holiday cheers. In a heartwarming twist, BackaBuddy has launched the BackaBuddy Cancer Fund, with Rainbows and Smiles as its first beneficiary. To kickstart this initiative, BackaBuddy will match the first R10,000 raised through this campaign.

Our aim? To turn January 2024 into a month of hope and light for the families we support, especially our oncology families. Instead of our usual grand Christmas celebration, we're focusing our efforts on providing warmth and care to these families throughout the festive season and into January.

Your support has always been our driving force. This time, we need a bit more of your love and generosity. Every contribution, be it a donation, a food voucher, a craft set, or even just spreading the word, makes a monumental difference.

Let’s come together to transform Jan-u-worry into Jan-u-caring. With your help, we can make January 2024 a brighter time for our cherished families.

Thank you for being the heart of our community. Let's make this #SupportBeyondTheSeason a reality for a #BrighterJanuary2024!
